Loved the Next Generation, especially the episodes with Whoopie Goldberg, dropping some strange knowledge on the captain.

I loved the episode when Picard beams down to a planet, and lives a lifetime there, forgets he is a captain, then gets beamed back to the ship, to discover the planet had been destroyed eons before, and he was just experiencing the culture of the planet in a few minutes. Made me think, what if that's what is really going on in real life?

So many of those shows were metaphysical and scientific at the same time, and I loved that about them.

@the bolded: Yes, definitely! They also had a way of reflecting on controverial issues happening in present time, like racism, poverty, money, disease, homopohbia, etc. but placing them in a future format. I think that was GENIUS! Also, there wasn't a race (planetary or interstellar ) that hasn't been represented in the ST franchise and the concept of living for the betterment of yourself to make humanity better is what I loved most!

oh...oh..and the episode where the crew beam down to this Eden looking place that was fun for everyone...until Wesley stepped on the grass.

Was that the one where Wesley almost gets killed for breaking that window? Yeah, that's the one where everyone would run everywhere just to run....and make love at the drop of a hat......any hat.

yeah...that's the one. He broke a window? I don't remember that. I remember he was playing with kids his age...he was catching a ball or something and he fell on the grass.

make love at the drop of a hat. Gurl shid. U know Riker was calculatin' his leave.

Yup, you know he was, LOL! That one episode when Riker was disguised as one of the natives on some planet, he woke up in a hospital. To make a long story short, in order for him to divise an escape plan, he had to sleep with one of the nurses who wanted to know what it wass like to sleep with an "alien"

She asked him "When can I see you again?"

And he said "I'll see you again next time I pass through you star system."

Ok cause this broad-- remember that epi in which deanna loses her empathic ability and basically acts like helen keller? I was like is this bitch for real? You can't feel and hear people, now you un lost ALL ability to be a counselor and communicate with others?

Like in all this time in therapy, you ain't wrote no notes? "Tears = Sad"? Nothing?

In other words....Don't call me, I'll call you, cracked me up!

Yup. Riker don't luh dem heaux. I was trying to remember the name of that episode. That was a good one...I wouldn't be surprised if that has gone down....like in real life. I wasn't mad at that one lady. I can't remember if she was a scientist or a politician..or both. If I knew something was better and greater....i'da left too.

I also like that episode where it was explorers (?) and they ended up separating into two factions. Hundreds of years later one society was high tech while the other was the equivalent of 1700's England. The high tech society was dying because they were so interbred...they had to tie into the vine of the primitives. The look on their faces.

Deanna annoyed me in the...prolly 1st couple of seasons. I really didn't think too much of her until they got serious with her character and she actually started wearing her Star Fleet uniform. I mean...yeah you're the counselor but you're still an officer and a lieutenant. Just because u have extreme feels don't mean you should be wearing bodysuits on the bridge. I thought her curly hair was gorgeous tho. I was hurt when she coloured and straightened it.

I think that's what made me love the show. It made me question some things. The show... while dealing with theories and such...they made it understandable for the average joe. Alot of things that I would hear on the show would have me reaching for my dictionary. It was enjoyable but I also learned a little bit too.
